The mistake fans make is they think football clubs are like any other business when they're not.

It's a lot harder for clubs to go completely bust nowadays. Fit and proper owners test, while incredibly basic, do block out a lot of the nutcases - if you want to see a classic case of why it works see the Chris Kirchner Derby County saga. Failed Derby County bidder Chris Kirchner jailed for...

I think that's right. Achieving financial sustainability is akin to finding a pot of gold at the end of the rainbow scenario. It's not within reach, and certainly not if you want to get anywhere in the sport.

No. Not allowed unless it's a season long loan and the club takes up the option to recall in Jan.

See above. Realised it was Boosh who posted a pic so probably is just a snap of his mate Craig Danny being too pissed to remember to wear a matching pair of shoes again.

Well I presume it's his ankle unless a WUM posted a random pic on the Rudoni injury thread.

That wasn't a guarantee, it was an all being well scenario. Plus his ankle seems to be twice the size of the other one to complicate matters.

It really isn't with Sheaf seemingly still struggling and Rudoni still out for several weeks.

You and me both. I still have no clue why you claim I was a Wasps fan... it's incredibly strange.

It's the parent club with the expectation, which is where the issue lies. I suspect the club got an absolute bollocking off Brighton for the Ayari situation and how they handled him. Not that it was particularly anyone's fault, Ayari just wasn't ready at the time. But this is where the loan...

I don't think Dyche is finished, he's just not a manager an established PL club would ever consider now. Like I said the game has completely passed him by and tactically he's prehistoric. He certainly could get a Championship job and I'd back his side to be in contention for promotion. But I...

Everton was a poor career move by FL. It was never going to work. Always difficult going into a club that's on a downward trajectory. Robins can currently attest to that. Dyche did OK initially but obviously it all fell apart this season. His tactics are from a time gone by though and the game...

Too wickedly intelligent sadly.

Job centre should be open now I recommend you tootle along. There's a village idiot position available that suits you to a T.

We've looked horribly vulnerable against three sides which up until recently have struggled to even post a shot on target. A lot needs to change.

Ironically, against a side that was clearly going to hoof it at every opportunity it was probably the right choice on paper. But he was appalling and doesn't deserve to be brought back into the fold.

FL needs to rethink his approach the next block of games. Defence just isn't good enough and hasn't been for some time. A return to five at the back for the foreseeable needed.

We've fallen into the exact same trap as we did in the first leg. Outworked, outmuscled, targeted with long balls and seriously struggled. No movement and pedestrian side to side passing as well.

I'm pretty concerned what the next 3 games are going to look like if we keep this up.

Hoping I jinx myself saying this but I honestly couldn't see us scoring over 180 minutes.
